NOTIFICATION
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference with radio
communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
s Reorient or relocate the receiving antennas.
s Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
s Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
s Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/
TV technician for help.
You are cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in this
manual could void your authority to operate
this equipment.
Safety
s Operate the TV only on 120 V AC.
s The plug is designed, for safety purposes, to
fit into the wall outlet only one way. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, contact your dealer.
s If any liquid or solid object should fall
inside the cabinet, unplug the TV
immediately and have it checked by
qualified service personnel before operating
it further.
s If you will not be using the TV for several
days, disconnect the power by pulling the
plug itself. Never pull on the cord.
s For details concerning safety precautions,
see “Important Safeguards” on page 4.
Important Notice
s When used at an altitude of greater than
1,900m or 6,248feet (air pressure less than
800hPa), this Plasma Display Panel may
generate a low buzzing sound as a result of
the difference between the interior and
exterior air pressure of the panels. This is
not considered a defect and is not covered
under by the Limited Warranty.
Installing
s To prevent internal heat buildup, do not
block the ventilation openings.
s Do not install the TV in a hot or humid
place, or in a place subject to excessive dust
or mechanical vibration.
s Avoid operating the TV at temperatures
below 5°C (41°F).
s If the TV is transported directly from a cold
to a warm location, or if the room
temperature changes suddenly, the picture
may be blurred or show poor color due to
moisture condensation. In this case, please
wait a few hours to let the moisture
evaporate before turning on the TV.
s To obtain the best picture, do not expose
the screen to direct illumination or direct
sunlight. It is recommended to use spot
lighting directed down from the ceiling or
to cover the windows that face the screen
with opaque drapery. It is desirable to
install the TV in a room where the floor and
walls are not of a reflective material.
CAUTION
How to reduce the risk of “Image Retention”
on your TV
When using TV games, computers, and
similar products with your TV, or viewing a
TV station whose logo always stays on the
screen, keep the brightness and contrast
functions at low settings.
Bright, stationary images such as TV station
logos displayed on your TV can cause
permanent damage to your TV, resulting in
retention of the image in the picture. Please
take the following steps to reduce the risk of
causing image retention:
View a variety of program sources or
programming material.
Image retention can occur when bright
stationary images such as TV station logos
are viewed. Changing the program material
viewed reduces the possibility that a single
image will become imprinted on the picture
tubes in your TV.
When viewing programs with stationary
images, adjust the picture setting to reduce
the “Picture” and “Brightness” levels. Image
retention is accelerated by higher
“Brightness” and higher “Picture” settings.
Please see page 59 for instructions on
adjusting picture settings.
This will help you reduce the risk of causing
image retention.
IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED
BY YOUR WARRANTY
